0 Python Excel library comparison

Let's take a look at the comparison of libraries that can operate Excel in python (nine libraries in total):

1 Python xlrd read operation Excel

1.1 xlrd module introduction

Cooperate with the information released the day before yesterday Fix, climb the official account, translate it into PDF, send it to yourself by automatic mail. Better use.

(1) What is the xlrd module?

  • python mainly uses xlrd and xlwt to operate excel, that is, xlrd is to read excel and xlwt is to write excel.

(2) Why use xlrd module?

  • In UI automation or interface automation, data maintenance is a core, so this module is very practical.

xlrd module can be used to read Excel data, very fast, recommended!

**Official documents:** https://xlrd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

1.2 installing xlrd modules

  • Download from Python official website http://pypi.python.org/pypi/xlrd Module installation, provided that the python environment has been installed.
  • Or pip install xlrd in the cmd window
pip install xlrd

anaconda comes with xlrd, so you will be prompted that it has been installed:

1.3 introduction to use

  1. Data type of common cells
  • empty
  • string(text)
  • number
  • date
  • boolean
  • error
  • Blank (blank form)
  1. Import module
import xlrd
  1. Open Excel file to read data
data = xlrd.open_workbook(filename)#File name and path. If the path or file name has Chinese, add an r before it
  1. Common functions
  • The most important method in excel is the operation of book and sheet

(1) Get a worksheet in book (excel file)

table = data.sheets()[0]             #Get by index order
table = data.sheet_by_index(sheet_indx)  #Get by index order
table = data.sheet_by_name(sheet_name)  #Get by name

# The above three functions will return an xlrd sheet. Sheet() object

names = data.sheet_names()        #Returns the names of all worksheets in the book
data.sheet_loaded(sheet_name or indx)    # Check whether a sheet has been imported

(2) Operation of row

nrows = table.nrows
    # Get the number of rows in the sheet. Note: here is table Nrows is not followed by ()

table.row(rowx)
    # Returns a list of all cell objects in the row, which is the same as tabel The raw () method makes no difference.

table.row_slice(rowx)
    # Returns a list of all cell objects in the row

table.row_types(rowx, start_colx=0, end_colx=None)
    # Returns a list consisting of the data types of all cells in the row;    
    # The return value is a list of logical values. If the type is empty, it is 0; otherwise, it is 1

table.row_values(rowx, start_colx=0, end_colx=None)
    # Returns a list of data from all cells in the row

table.row_len(rowx)
    # Returns the effective cell length of the row, that is, how many data there are in this row

(3) Operation of column (colnum)

ncols = table.ncols
    # Gets the number of valid columns for the list

table.col(colx, start_rowx=0, end_rowx=None)
    # Returns a list of all cell objects in the column

table.col_slice(colx, start_rowx=0, end_rowx=None)
    # Returns a list of all cell objects in the column

table.col_types(colx, start_rowx=0, end_rowx=None)
    # Returns a list of the data types of all cells in the column

table.col_values(colx, start_rowx=0, end_rowx=None)
    # Returns a list of data from all cells in the column

(4) Operation of cell

table.cell(rowx,colx)
    # Return cell object

table.cell_type(rowx,colx)
    # Returns the data type in the corresponding location cell

table.cell_value(rowx,colx)
    # Returns the data in the corresponding position cell

1.4 practical training

We first put the following data in the table and click Save:

Read using xlrd module:

import xlrd

xlsx = xlrd.open_workbook('./3_1 xlrd Reading operation exercise.xlsx')

# Find by sheet name: xlsx sheet_ by_ name("sheet1")
# Find by index: xlsx sheet_ by_ index(3)
table = xlsx.sheet_by_index(0)

# Getting a single table value (2,1) means getting the value of the cell in row 3 and column 2
value = table.cell_value(2, 1)
print("The value in row 3 and column 2 is",value)

# Get the number of table rows
nrows = table.nrows
print("There are two forms in total",nrows,"that 's ok")

# Get all the values in column 4 (list generation)
name_list = [str(table.cell_value(i, 3)) for i in range(1, nrows)]
print("All values in column 4:",name_list)

Print results:

2 Python xlwt write operation Excel (xls format only!)

xlwt can be used to write a new Excel table or modify it based on the original table. It is also fast. It is recommended!

Official documents: https://xlwt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Cooperate with the information released the day before yesterday Operations Python one article coding environment Better use.

2.1 pip installation xlwt

pip install xlwt

anaconda comes with xlwt, so it is prompted that it has been installed:

2.2 create a new table using xlwt and write

At first, there were only these two files in the directory:

Write xlwt new table writer:

# 3.2.2 create a new table using xlwt and write
def fun3_2_2():
    # Create a new workbook (in fact, create a new excel)
    workbook = xlwt.Workbook(encoding= 'ascii')

    # Create a new sheet table
    worksheet = workbook.add_sheet("My new Sheet")

    # Write content to table
    worksheet.write(0,0, "Content 1")
    worksheet.write(2,1, "Content 2")

    # preservation
    workbook.save("Newly created table.xls")

The contents of the generated table are as follows:

2.3 xlwt setting font format

Program example:

# 3.2.3 xlwt setting font format
def fun3_2_3():
    # Create a new workbook (in fact, create a new excel)
    workbook = xlwt.Workbook(encoding= 'ascii')

    # Create a new sheet table
    worksheet = workbook.add_sheet("My new Sheet")

    # Initialize style
    style = xlwt.XFStyle()

    # Create fonts for styles
    font = xlwt.Font()
    font.name = 'Times New Roman'   #typeface
    font.bold = True                #Bold
    font.underline = True           #Underline
    font.italic = True              #Italics

    # Set style
    style.font = font

    # Write content to table
    worksheet.write(0,0, "Content 1")
    worksheet.write(2,1, "Content 2",style)

    # preservation
    workbook.save("Newly created table.xls")

The effects are as follows:

2.4 xlwt set column width

The value representation of column width in xlwt: 1 / 256 of the default font 0 is the measurement unit.

The default width used when xlwt is created is 2960, which is the width of 11 characters 0

Therefore, we can use the following methods when setting the column width:

width = 256 * 20 256 is the measurement unit, and 20 represents the width of 20 characters

Program example:

# 3.2.4 setting column width
def fun3_2_4():
    # Create a new workbook (in fact, create a new excel)
    workbook = xlwt.Workbook(encoding= 'ascii')

    # Create a new sheet table
    worksheet = workbook.add_sheet("My new Sheet")

    # Write content to table
    worksheet.write(0,0, "Content 1")
    worksheet.write(2,1, "Content 2")

    # Set column width
    worksheet.col(0).width = 256*20

    # preservation
    workbook.save("Newly created table.xls")

The effects are as follows:

2.5 xlwt set row height

There is no specific function in xlwt to set the default column width and row height

The row height is set in the cell style. You can determine the row height by automatically wrapping and entering the amount of text

Program example:

# 3.2.5 set row height
def fun3_2_5():
    # Create a new workbook (in fact, create a new excel)
    workbook = xlwt.Workbook(encoding= 'ascii')

    # Create a new sheet table
    worksheet = workbook.add_sheet("My new Sheet")

    # Write content to table
    worksheet.write(0,0, "Content 1")
    worksheet.write(2,1, "Content 2")

    # Set row height
    style = xlwt.easyxf('font:height 360;')  # 18pt, type: small initial font size
    row = worksheet.row(0)
    row.set_style(style)

    # preservation
    workbook.save("Newly created table.xls")

The effects are as follows:

2.6 xlwt merge columns and rows

Program example:

# 3.2.6 combination, parallel and row
def fun3_2_6():
    # Create a new workbook (in fact, create a new excel)
    workbook = xlwt.Workbook(encoding= 'ascii')

    # Create a new sheet table
    worksheet = workbook.add_sheet("My new Sheet")

    # Write content to table
    worksheet.write(0,0, "Content 1")
    
    # Merge columns 0 to 3 of rows 1 to 2
    worksheet.write_merge(1, 2, 0, 3, 'Merge Test')

    # preservation
    workbook.save("Newly created table.xls")

The effects are as follows:

2.7 xlwt add border

Program example:

# 3.2.7 add border
def fun3_2_7():
    # Create a new workbook (in fact, create a new excel)
    workbook = xlwt.Workbook(encoding= 'ascii')

    # Create a new sheet table
    worksheet = workbook.add_sheet("My new Sheet")

    # Write content to table
    worksheet.write(0,0, "Content 1")
    
    # Set border style
    borders = xlwt.Borders()  # Create Borders
    
    # May be:   NO_LINE, THIN, MEDIUM, DASHED, DOTTED, THICK, DOUBLE, HAIR,
    #           MEDIUM_DASHED, THIN_DASH_DOTTED, MEDIUM_DASH_DOTTED, THIN_DASH_DOT_DOTTED,
    #           MEDIUM_DASH_DOT_DOTTED, SLANTED_MEDIUM_DASH_DOTTED, or 0x00 through 0x0D.
    # DASHED dotted line
    # NO_LINE no
    # THIN solid line
    
    borders.left = xlwt.Borders.DASHED
    borders.right = xlwt.Borders.DASHED
    borders.top = xlwt.Borders.DASHED
    borders.bottom = xlwt.Borders.DASHED
    borders.left_colour = 0x40
    borders.right_colour = 0x40
    borders.top_colour = 0x40
    borders.bottom_colour = 0x40
    
    style = xlwt.XFStyle()  # Create Style
    style.borders = borders  # Add Borders to Style
    
    worksheet.write(0, 0, 'Content 1', style)

    worksheet.write(2,1, "Content 2")

    # preservation
    workbook.save("Newly created table.xls")

The effects are as follows:

2.8 xlwt setting the background color for cells

Program example:

# Set cell background color
def fun3_2_8():
    # Create a new workbook (in fact, create a new excel)
    workbook = xlwt.Workbook(encoding= 'ascii')

    # Create a new sheet table
    worksheet = workbook.add_sheet("My new Sheet")

    # Write content to table
    worksheet.write(0,0, "Content 1")

    # create patterns
    pattern = xlwt.Pattern()
    
    # May be: NO_PATTERN, SOLID_PATTERN, or 0x00 through 0x12
    pattern.pattern = xlwt.Pattern.SOLID_PATTERN
    
    # May be: 8 through 63. 0 = Black, 1 = White, 2 = Red, 3 = Green, 4 = Blue, 5 = Yellow,
    # 6 = Magenta, 7 = Cyan, 16 = Maroon, 17 = Dark Green, 18 = Dark Blue, 19 = Dark Yellow ,
    # almost brown), 20 = Dark Magenta, 21 = Teal, 22 = Light Gray, 23 = Dark Gray, the list goes on...
    pattern.pattern_fore_colour = 5
    style = xlwt.XFStyle()
    style.pattern = pattern

    # Use style
    worksheet.write(2,1, "Content 2",style)

The effects are as follows:

2.9 xlwt setting cell alignment

Use Alignment in xlwt to set the Alignment of cells, where horz represents horizontal Alignment and vert represents vertical Alignment.

VERT_TOP = 0x00 top alignment
VERT_CENTER = 0x01 center alignment (vertical)
VERT_BOTTOM = 0x02 low end alignment
HORZ_LEFT = 0x01 left end alignment
HORZ_CENTER = 0x02 center alignment (horizontal)
HORZ_RIGHT = 0x03 right end alignment

Program example:

# Set cell alignment
def fun3_2_9():
    # Create a new workbook (in fact, create a new excel)
    workbook = xlwt.Workbook(encoding= 'ascii')

    # Create a new sheet table
    worksheet = workbook.add_sheet("My new Sheet")

    # Write content to table
    worksheet.write(0,0, "Content 1")

    # Set style
    style = xlwt.XFStyle()
    al = xlwt.Alignment()
    # VERT_TOP = 0x00 top alignment
    # VERT_CENTER = 0x01 center alignment (vertical)
    # VERT_BOTTOM = 0x02 low end alignment
    # HORZ_LEFT = 0x01 left end alignment
    # HORZ_CENTER = 0x02 center alignment (horizontal)
    # HORZ_RIGHT = 0x03 right end alignment
    al.horz = 0x02  # Set horizontal center
    al.vert = 0x01  # Set vertical center
    style.alignment = al

    # Align write
    worksheet.write(2,1, "Content 2",style)

    # preservation
    workbook.save("Newly created table.xls")

The effects are as follows:

4 Python xlwings read write modify Excel

xlwings is more luxurious than xlrd, xlwt and xlutils. It has the following characteristics:

  • xlwings can easily read and write the data in Excel files, and can modify the cell format
  • It can be seamlessly connected with matplotlib and pandas, supports reading and writing numpy and pandas data types, and imports matplotlib visual charts into excel.
  • You can call the program written by VBA in Excel file or let VBA call the program written in Python.
  • Open source free, constantly updated

Official website address: https://www.xlwings.org/

Official documents: https://docs.xlwings.org/en/stable/api.html

4.1 pip installation xlwings

pip install xlwings

4.2 basic operation

Import and warehousing

import xlwings as xw

Open Excel program, default setting: the program is visible, only open without creating a new workbook

app = xw.App(visible=True,add_book=False)
#Create a new Workbook (if you don't pick up the next code, Excel will only flash by and sell it)
wb = app.books.add()

Open an existing Workbook (absolute and relative paths are supported)

wb = app.books.open('example.xlsx')
#When practicing, it is recommended to use the following one directly
#wb = xw.Book('example.xlsx')
#In this way, you will not open new Excel frequently

Save Workbook

wb.save('example.xlsx')

Exit Workbook (can be omitted)

wb.close()

Exit Excel

app.quit()

Three examples:

(1) Open an existing Excel document

# Import xlwings module
import xlwings as xw

# Open Excel program, default setting: the program is visible, only open without creating a new workbook, and screen update is closed
app=xw.App(visible=True,add_book=False)
app.display_alerts=False
app.screen_updating=False

# File location: filepath, open the test document, then save, close and end the program
filepath=r'g:\Python Scripts\test.xlsx'
wb=app.books.open(filepath)
wb.save()
wb.close()
app.quit()

(2) Create a new Excel document named test Xlsx and save it on disk D

import xlwings as xw

app=xw.App(visible=True,add_book=False)
wb=app.books.add()
wb.save(r'd:\test.xlsx')
wb.close()
app.quit()

(3) Enter a value in the cell

New test Xlsx, enter "life" in the first cell of sheet1, then save, close and exit the Excel program.

 import xlwings as xw
    
 app=xw.App(visible=True,add_book=False)
 wb=app.books.add()
    
 # wb is the new workbook. Next, assign a value to cell A1 of sheet1 of wb
 wb.sheets['sheet1'].range('A1').value='life'
 wb.save(r'd:\test.xlsx')
 wb.close()
 app.quit()

Open the saved test Xlsx, enter "bitter short" in the second cell of sheet2, then save, close and exit the Excel program

 import xlwings as xw
    
 app=xw.App(visible=True,add_book=False)
 wb=app.books.open(r'd:\test.xlsx')
    
 # wb is the new workbook. Next, assign a value to cell A1 of sheet1 of wb
 wb.sheets['sheet1'].range('A1').value='Bitter short'
 wb.save()
 wb.close()
 app.quit()

After mastering the above codes, you can store excel as a txt text, or read the data of Excel file, calculate and save the results in Excel.

4.3 reference workbooks, worksheets and cells

(1) Reference the workbook by name. Note that the workbook should be opened first

wb=xw.books['The name of the workbook']

(2) Reference active workbook

wb=xw.books.active

(3) Reference sheet in Workbook

sht=xw.books['The name of the workbook'].sheets['sheet Name of']
# perhaps
wb=xw.books['The name of the workbook']
sht=wb.sheets[sheet Name of]

(4) Reference active sheet

sht=xw.sheets.active

(5) Reference A1 cell

rng=xw.books['The name of the workbook'].sheets['sheet Name of']
# perhaps
sht=xw.books['The name of the workbook'].sheets['sheet Name of']
rng=sht.range('A1')

(6) References a cell on the active sheet

# Note that Range is capitalized
rng=xw.Range('A1')

#Note that the full reference path of the cell is:
# The first cell of the first sheet of the first Workbook of the first Excel program
xw.apps[0].books[0].sheets[0].range('A1')
The way to quickly reference cells is
sht=xw.books['name'].sheets['name']

# A1 cell
rng=sht['A1']
        
# A1:B5 cell
rng=sht['A1:B5']
        
# In row i+1, the cell in column j+1
# B1 cell
rng=sht[0,1]
        
# A1:J10
rng=sht[:10,:10]
        
#PS: cells can also be referenced by tuple s representing rows and columns
# A1 cell reference
xw.Range(1,1)
        
#A1:C3 cell reference
xw.Range((1,1),(3,3))

Reference cell:

rng = sht.range('a1')
#rng = sht['a1']
#rng = sht[0,0] the first column of the first row, i.e. a1, is equivalent to the slice of pandas

Reference area:

rng = sht.range('a1:a5')
#rng = sht['a1:a5']
#rng = sht[:5,0]

4.4 write & read data

1. Write data

(1) Select the starting cell A1 and write the string 'Hello'

sht.range('a1').value = 'Hello'

(2) Write list

# Row storage: store the list [1,2,3] in A1: C1
sht.range('A1').value=[1,2,3]
# Column storage: store the list [1,2,3] in A1:A3
sht.range('A1').options(transpose=True).value=[1,2,3]
# Store the 2x2 table, that is, the two-dimensional array, in A1:B2, such as the first row 1 and 2 and the second row 3 and 4
sht.range('A1').options(expand='table')=[[1,2],[3,4]]
  • Insert by line by default: A1:D1 write 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively
sht.range('a1').value = [1,2,3,4]

Equivalent to

sht.range('a1:d1').value = [1,2,3,4]
  • Insert by column: A2:A5 write 5, 6, 7 and 8 respectively

You might think:

sht.range('a2:a5').value = [5,6,7,8]

However, you will find that xlwings will still be processed by line. The above line is equivalent to:

sht.range('a2').value = [5,6,7,8]

Correct syntax:

sht.range('a2').options(transpose=True).value = [5,6,7,8]

Since the default is to write by line, we will reverse it. The word should be typed correctly. If you type the wrong word, it will not report an error, but will write by the default line (don't ask me how to know)

  • Multi line input requires a two-dimensional list:
sht.range('a6').expand('table').value = [['a','b','c'],['d','e','f'],['g','h','i']]

2. Read data

(1) Read a single value

# Read the value of A1 into the a variable
a=sht.range('A1').value

(2) Read values into the list

#Read the values from A1 to A2 into the a list
a=sht.range('A1:A2').value
# Read the data of the first row and the second row as a two-dimensional array
a=sht.range('A1:B2').value
  • Select a column of data

Calculate the number of rows of the cell first (if there are consecutive cells)

rng = sht.range('a1').expand('table')
nrows = rng.rows.count

Then it can be read according to the accurate range

a = sht.range(f'a1:a{nrows}').value
  • Select a row of data
ncols = rng.columns.count
#Slice with
fst_col = sht[0,:ncols].value

4.5 common functions and methods

1. Common APIs for book workbooks

wb=xw.books['Workbook name']
  • wb.activate() activates as the current workbook
  • wb.fullname returns the absolute path of the workbook
  • wb.name returns the name of the workbook
  • wb.save(path=None) saves the workbook. The default path is the original path of the workbook. If it is not saved, it is the path where the script is located
  • wb. close() closes the workbook

Code example:

# Reference the current workbook in the Excel program
wb=xw.books.acitve
# Returns the absolute path of the workbook
x=wb.fullname
# Returns the name of the workbook
x=wb.name
# When saving a workbook, the default path is the original path of the workbook. If it is not saved, it is the path where the script is located
x=wb.save(path=None)
# Close Workbook
x=wb.close()

2. Common api of sheet

# Reference a specified sheet
sht=xw.books['Workbook name'].sheets['sheet Name of']
# Activate sheet as the active sheet
sht.activate()
# Clear the contents and format of sheet
sht.clear()
# Clear the contents of sheet
sht.contents()
# Gets the name of the sheet
sht.name
# Delete sheet
sht.delete

3. Common APIs of range

4.6 data structure

1. One dimensional data

The list in python can exchange data with the rows and columns in Excel. The one-dimensional list in python defaults to one row of data in Excel.

import xlwings as xw

sht=xw.sheets.active

# Write 1, 2 and 3 into cells A1, B1 and C1 respectively
sht.range('A1').value=[1,2,3]

# Store the values of cells A1, B1 and C1 in the list1 list
list1=sht.range('A1:C1').value

# Write 1, 2 and 3 into cells A1, A2 and A3 respectively
sht.range('A1').options(transpose=True).value=[1,2,3]

# Save the values of cells A1, A2 and A3 in list1 list
list1=sht.range('A1:A3').value

2. 2D data

python's two-dimensional list can be converted into rows and columns in Excel. Two dimensional list, that is, the elements in the list or the list. In Excel, a list element in a two-dimensional list represents a column in an excel table. For example:

# Enter A1, A2 and A3 into the first column and B1, B2 and B3 into the second column
list1=[['a1','a2','a3'],['b1','b2','b3']]
sht.range('A1').value=list1

# Assign the value of A1: B3 to the two-dimensional list list1
list1=sht.range('A1:B3').value

3. Selection table of range in Excel

# Select the first column
rng=sht. range('A1').expand('down')
rng.value=['a1','a2','a3']


# Select the first row
rng=sht.range('A1').expand('right')
rng=['a1','b1']


# Select table
rng.sht.range('A1').expand('table')
rng.value=[['a1','a2','a3'],['b1','b2','b3']]

4.7 xlwings generation chart

Method of generating chart

import xlwings as xw
app = xw.App()
wb = app.books.active
sht = wb.sheets.active

chart = sht.charts.add(100, 10)  # 100 and 10 are the coordinates of the position where the chart is placed. In pixels.
chart.set_source_data(sht.range('A1').expand())  # The parameter is the data range in the table.
# chart.chart_type = i               # It is used to set the chart type. The specific parameters are described in detail below.
chart.api[1].ChartTitle.Text = i          # Used to set the title of the chart.

Example code:

import xlwings as xw
app = xw.App()
wb = app.books.active
sht = wb.sheets.active
# Generate chart data
sht.range('A1').value = [['time', 'quantity'], ['1 day', 2], ['2 day', 1], ['3 day', 3]
             , ['4 day', 4], ['5 day', 5], ['6 day', 6]]

5 Python openpyxl read write modify Excel

In openpyxl, three concepts are mainly used: Workbooks, Sheets and Cells.

  • A Workbook is an excel worksheet;
  • Sheet is a sheet page in a worksheet;
  • Cell is a simple lattice.

openpyxl revolves around these three concepts. No matter reading or writing, it is a "three board axe": open the Workbook, locate the Sheet, and operate the Cell.

Official documents: https://openpyxl.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

Official example:

from openpyxl import Workbook
wb = Workbook()

# grab the active worksheet
ws = wb.active

# Data can be assigned directly to cells
ws['A1'] = 42

# Rows can also be appended
ws.append([1, 2, 3])

# Python types will automatically be converted
import datetime
ws['A2'] = datetime.datetime.now()

# Save the file
wb.save("sample.xlsx")

5.1 basic operation of openpyxl

1. Installation

pip install openpyxl

Because I have installed it, the following information is prompted:

2. Open the file

(1) New

from  openpyxl import  Workbook 
# instantiation 
wb = Workbook()
# Activate worksheet
ws = wb.active

(2) Open existing

from openpyxl  import load_workbook

wb = load_workbook('File name.xlsx')

3. Write data

# Method 1: data can be directly allocated to cells (formulas can be entered)
ws['A1'] = 42
# Method 2: you can attach rows, starting from the first column (from the bottom blank, starting from the left) (you can enter multiple rows)
ws.append([1, 2, 3])
# Method 3: Python type will be automatically converted
ws['A3'] = datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d")

4. Create a sheet

# Method 1: insert to last (default)
ws1 = wb.create_sheet("Mysheet") 
# Mode 2: insert to the beginning
ws2 = wb.create_sheet("Mysheet", 0)

5. Select sheet

# sheet names can be indexed as key s
>>> ws3 = wb["New Title"]
>>> ws4 = wb.get_sheet_by_name("New Title")
>>> ws is ws3 is ws4
True

6. View table name (sheet)

# Show all table names
>>> print(wb.sheetnames)
['Sheet2', 'New Title',  'Sheet1']
# Traverse all tables
>>> for sheet in  wb:
...     print(sheet.title)

7. Access cell

(1) Single cell access

# Method 1
>>> c = ws['A4']
# Method 2: row; Column column
>>> d = ws.cell(row=4, column=2, value=10)
# Method 3: create as long as you access
>>> for i in  range(1,101):
...         for j in range(1,101):
...            ws.cell(row=i, column=j)

(2) Multiple cell access

# By slicing
>>> cell_range = ws['A1':'C2']
# Through row (column)
>>> colC = ws['C']
>>> col_range = ws['C:D']
>>> row10 = ws[10]
>>> row_range = ws[5:10]
# By specifying the range (row → row)
>>> for row in  ws.iter_rows(min_row=1, max_col=3, max_row=2):
...    for cell in  row:
...        print(cell)
<Cell Sheet1.A1>
<Cell Sheet1.B1>
<Cell Sheet1.C1>
<Cell Sheet1.A2>
<Cell Sheet1.B2>
<Cell Sheet1.C2> 
# By specifying the range (column → column)
>>> for row in  ws.iter_rows(min_row=1, max_col=3, max_row=2):
...    for cell in  row:
...        print(cell)
<Cell Sheet1.A1>
<Cell Sheet1.B1>
<Cell Sheet1.C1>
<Cell Sheet1.A2>
<Cell Sheet1.B2>
<Cell Sheet1.C2>
# Traverse all methods one
>>> ws = wb.active
>>> ws['C9'] = 'hello world'
>>> tuple(ws.rows)
((<Cell Sheet.A1>, <Cell Sheet.B1>, <Cell Sheet.C1>),
(<Cell Sheet.A2>, <Cell Sheet.B2>, <Cell Sheet.C2>),
...
(<Cell Sheet.A8>, <Cell Sheet.B8>, <Cell Sheet.C8>),
(<Cell Sheet.A9>, <Cell Sheet.B9>, <Cell Sheet.C9>))
# Traverse all method two
>>> tuple(ws.columns)
((<Cell Sheet.A1>,
<Cell Sheet.A2>,
<Cell Sheet.A3>,
...
<Cell Sheet.B7>,
<Cell Sheet.B8>,
<Cell Sheet.B9>),
(<Cell Sheet.C1>,
...
<Cell Sheet.C8>,
<Cell Sheet.C9>))

8. Save data

wb.save('File name.xlsx')

9. Others

(1) Change sheet label button color

ws.sheet_properties.tabColor = "1072BA" # The color value is RGB16 hexadecimal value

(2) Get maximum row, maximum column

# Get maximum columns and maximum rows
print(sheet.max_row)
print(sheet.max_column)

(3) Get each row and each column

  • sheet.rows is the generator, which contains the data of each row, and each row is wrapped by a tuple.
  • sheet.columns is similar, but each tuple is the cell of each column.
# Because of the row by row, the order of A1, B1 and C1 is returned
for row in sheet.rows:
    for cell in row:
        print(cell.value)

# A1, A2, A3 in this order
for column in sheet.columns:
    for cell in column:
        print(cell.value)

(4) Get letters from numbers, get numbers from letters

from openpyxl.utils import get_column_letter, column_index_from_string

# Returns letters based on the numbers in the column
print(get_column_letter(2))  # B
# Returns the number of columns based on letters
print(column_index_from_string('D'))  # 4

(5) Delete sheet

# Mode 1
wb.remove(sheet)
# Mode II
del wb[sheet]

(6) Matrix permutation

rows = [
    ['Number', 'data1', 'data2'],
    [2, 40, 30],
    [3, 40, 25],
    [4, 50, 30],
    [5, 30, 10],
    [6, 25, 5],
    [7, 50, 10]]

list(zip(*rows))

# out
[('Number', 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7),
 ('data1', 40, 40, 50, 30, 25, 50),
 ('data2', 30, 25, 30, 10, 5, 10)]

# Note that the method discards columns (rows) that lack data
rows = [
    ['Number', 'data1', 'data2'],
    [2, 40      ],    # There is one less data here
    [3, 40, 25],
    [4, 50, 30],
    [5, 30, 10],
    [6, 25, 5],
    [7, 50, 10],
]
# out
[('Number', 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7), ('data1', 40, 40, 50, 30, 25, 50)]

10. Set cell style

(1) Class to import

from openpyxl.styles import Font, colors, Alignment

(2) Typeface

  • The following code specifies equal line 24, bold italic, and the font color is red. Directly use the font attribute of the cell to assign the font object to it.
bold_itatic_24_font = Font(name='Isoline', size=24, italic=True, color=colors.RED, bold=True)

sheet['A1'].font = bold_itatic_24_font

(3) Alignment

  • The cell attribute alignment is also used directly. Here, the vertical center and horizontal center are specified. In addition to center, you can also use parameters such as right, left, and so on
# Set the vertical center and horizontal center of data in B1
sheet['B1'].alignment = Alignment(horizontal='center', vertical='center')

(4) Set row height and column width

# Row 2 row height
sheet.row_dimensions[2].height = 40
# Column C column width
sheet.column_dimensions['C'].width = 30

(5) Merge and split cells

  • The so-called merged cell refers to the cell in the upper left corner of the merged area as the benchmark, covering other cells to make it called a large cell.
  • Instead, after splitting the cell, return the value of the large cell to the original upper left corner.
# Merge cells and write data to the upper left corner
sheet.merge_cells('B1:G1') # Merge several cells in a row
sheet.merge_cells('A1:C3') # Merge cells in a rectangular range
  • After merging, you can only write data to the upper left corner, that is, the coordinates on the left of the interval.
  • If these cells to be merged have data, only the data in the upper left corner will be retained, and the others will be discarded. In other words, if data is not written in the upper left corner before merging, there will be no data in the merged cells.
  • The following is the code for splitting cells. After splitting, the value returns to the A1 position
sheet.unmerge_cells('A1:C3')

11. Example code

import datetime
from random import choice
from time import time
from openpyxl import load_workbook
from openpyxl.utils import get_column_letter

# Set file mingc
addr = "openpyxl.xlsx"
# Open file
wb = load_workbook(addr)
# Create a new table
ws = wb.create_sheet()
# First line input
ws.append(['TIME', 'TITLE', 'A-Z'])

# Input content (500 lines of data)
for i in range(500):
    TIME = datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%H:%M:%S")
    TITLE = str(time())
    A_Z = get_column_letter(choice(range(1, 50)))
    ws.append([TIME, TITLE, A_Z])

# Get maximum rows
row_max = ws.max_row
# Get maximum columns
con_max = ws.max_column
# Print the contents written above on the console
for j in ws.rows:    # we.rows gets each row of data
    for n in j:
        print(n.value, end="\t")   # n.value gets the value of the cell
    print()
# Save, save (the file name (absolute address) must be written. Under the default py peer directory, only xlsx format is supported)
wb.save(addr)

    (4, 50, 70),
    (5, 20, 10),
    (6, 10, 40),
    (7, 50, 30),
]

for row in rows:
    ws.append(row)

Official documents: https://xlsxwriter.readthedocs.io/

6.1 basic operation of xlswriter

1. Install the xlswriter module

pip install XlsxWriter

Since I have already installed it, I will be prompted that:

2. Create excel file

# create a file
workbook = xlsxwriter.Workbook("new_excel.xlsx")

3. Create sheet

# Create sheet
worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet("first_sheet")

4. Write data

(1) Write text

# Method I:
worksheet.write('A1', 'write something')
# Method 2:
worksheet.write(1, 0, 'hello world')

(2) Write number

# Write number
worksheet.write(0, 1, 32)
worksheet.write(1, 1, 32.3)

(3) Write function

worksheet.write(2, 1, '=sum(B1:B2)')

(4) Write picture

# Insert picture
worksheet.insert_image(0, 5, 'test.png')
worksheet.insert_image(0, 5, 'test.png', {'url': 'http://httpbin.org/'})

(5) Write date

# Write date
d = workbook.add_format({'num_format': 'yyyy-mm-dd'})
worksheet.write(0, 2, datetime.datetime.strptime('2017-09-13', '%Y-%m-%d'), d)

(6) Set row and column properties

# Set the row property, and set the row height to 40
worksheet.set_row(0, 40)

# Set the column properties and set the width of columns A to B to 20
worksheet.set_column('A:B', 20)

5. Custom format

Common formats:

  • Font color: color
  • bold font
  • Font size: font_site
  • Date format: num_format
  • Hyperlink: url
  • Underline setting: underline
  • Cell color: bg_color
  • Borders: border
  • Alignment: align
# Custom format
f = workbook.add_format({'border': 1, 'font_size': 13, 'bold': True, 'align': 'center','bg_color': 'cccccc'})
worksheet.write('A3', "python excel", f)
worksheet.set_row(0, 40, f)
worksheet.set_column('A:E', 20, f)

6. Batch write data to cells

# Batch write data to cells
worksheet.write_column('A15', [1, 2, 3, 4, 5])  # Column write, starting from A15
worksheet.write_row('A12', [6, 7, 8, 9])        # Line write, starting from A12

7. Merge cell write

# Merge cell write
worksheet.merge_range(7,5, 11, 8, 'merge_range')

8. Close the file

workbook.close()

6.3 xlswriter generates line chart

Example code:

# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-

import xlsxwriter

# Create an excel
workbook = xlsxwriter.Workbook("chart_line.xlsx")
# Create a sheet
worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet()
# worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet("bug_analysis")

# Custom styles, bold
bold = workbook.add_format({'bold': 1})

# --------1. Prepare data and write to excel---------------
# Write data to excel and use it when creating icons
headings = ['Number', 'testA', 'testB']
data = [
    ['2017-9-1', '2017-9-2', '2017-9-3', '2017-9-4', '2017-9-5', '2017-9-6'],
    [10, 40, 50, 20, 10, 50],
    [30, 60, 70, 50, 40, 30],
]

# Write header
worksheet.write_row('A1', headings, bold)

# Write data
worksheet.write_column('A2', data[0])
worksheet.write_column('B2', data[1])
worksheet.write_column('C2', data[2])

# --------2. Generate chart and insert into excel---------------
# Create a line chart
chart_col = workbook.add_chart({'type': 'line'})

# Configure first series data
chart_col.add_series({
    # sheet1 here is the default value because we did not specify the sheet name when creating a new sheet
    # If the sheet name is set when we create a new sheet, it should be set to the corresponding value here
    'name': '=Sheet1!$B$1',
    'categories': '=Sheet1!$A$2:$A$7',
    'values':   '=Sheet1!$B$2:$B$7',
    'line': {'color': 'red'},
})

# Configure second series data
chart_col.add_series({
    'name': '=Sheet1!$C$1',
    'categories':  '=Sheet1!$A$2:$A$7',
    'values':   '=Sheet1!$C$2:$C$7',
    'line': {'color': 'yellow'},
})

# Configure the second series of data (using another syntax)
# chart_col.add_series({
#     'name': ['Sheet1', 0, 2],
#     'categories': ['Sheet1', 1, 0, 6, 0],
#     'values': ['Sheet1', 1, 2, 6, 2],
#     'line': {'color': 'yellow'},
# })

# Set the title and x, y axis information of the chart
chart_col.set_title({'name': 'The xxx site Bug Analysis'})
chart_col.set_x_axis({'name': 'Test number'})
chart_col.set_y_axis({'name':  'Sample length (mm)'})

# Set the style of the chart
chart_col.set_style(1)

# Insert the chart into the worksheet and set the offset
worksheet.insert_chart('A10', chart_col, {'x_offset': 25, 'y_offset': 10})

    # Background operation, no display, no warning
    app.Visible = 0
    app.DisplayAlerts = 0

    # Create a new Excel
    # WorkBook = app.Workbooks.Add()
    # New sheet
    # sheet = WorkBook.Worksheets.Add()

    # Open the existing table. Note that the absolute path should be used here
    WorkBook = app.Workbooks.Open(getScriptPath() + "\\3_7 win32com Modify operation exercise.xlsx")
    sheet = WorkBook.Worksheets('Sheet1')

    # Get the n-th row and n-th column of cell information without - 1
